Allow a cross on the Mt. Soledad property to stand alongside same-sized symbols of every belief held by the thousands of deceased veterans memorialized there. Such a resolution would comport with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs issue of a standard tombstone inscribed with a symbol reflecting each deceased veteran's stated belief.

Mt. Soledad accordingly can be graced not only by a Christian cross, but by equally prominent displays of the Jewish Star of David, the Wiccan pentagram, the atheist atomic whirl and so forth. This approach is a win-win. It will honor all deceased veterans' service and pass constitutional muster.
